Food and drink in Brittany
Eating out
-
Don’t be afraid to complain if there is something wrong
with the food. It will be quickly put right.
-
The set menus usually offer the best value in restaurants –
some can be as low as 60F for three courses.
-
La cuisson is essential for how meat is cooked...bleu is very
rare, saignant is rare, à point is ‘on the turn’
and bien cuit is well done.

-
If anything is not cooked enough, it can easily be done a little
more.
-
Meal times are pretty rigid – so it can be hard to find
restaurants serving food during the afternoon.
-
Lunch is usually served between 12.00 and 14.00 and restaurants
are happy to serve diners from about 19.30.
-
It can be difficult to find a table for dinner after about
21.00 in smaller villages and towns not used to tourists.

Water
-
Tap water is normally safe to drink all over France - but always
check with the local town hall.
-
Unsafe water is marked eau non potable.
-
Bottled water is about 15p for a 1.5 litre bottle in hypermarkets.
-
Stock up on bottled water from the supermarket before going to the
beach or walking round Paris to save money.
-
Most hypermarkets sell water bottle holders to keep the water cool.
